Any recommendations with an optical zoom?
Thanks Jasper. The camera reviews are very detailed. been looking for a review in the emeets cameras.
Bro which is the best 1440p 60fps webcam for streaming? Under 15k INR or 150$
Brio 101 is far from the safest choice and is a poor recommendation. It artificially oversaturates colors, creating an unnatural appearance. Simply enhancing colors doesn’t make the output look natural. In comparison, the Anker C200 may appear slightly too cool, but this can be easily adjusted with a single click. Both the Emeet Nova and the Logitech C920 offer a more accurate mid-narrowed window angle and deliver clear detailing, such as in hair textures, unlike the blurred and flat shading from the Brio 101, which you highly recommended. This is not a good suggestion.
In the over $100 price range, your description of “looking more healthy” for light and color settings leans heavily toward warm and overly saturated tones in the orange spectrum. This is not ideal for anyone working in the video industry, and I’m surprised this was presented as natural lighting or color. The OSBOT Meet SE stands out with exceptional conference audio quality, surpassing the competition straight out of the box. While its autofocus is indeed poor, its audio performance is remarkable compared to higher-priced webcams. Elgato webcams, on the other hand, offer poor value for their price. Overall, this was a solid 24-minute review, but it is suited solely for face-streaming content. Thank you, Jasper.
Great video. What camera are you using now? This video quality looks amazing.
Thanks. You deserved more likes.
Damn! Thanks.
Instant subscribe – fantastic format and presentation and super informative.
This genuinely outdoes any other webcam review right now lol. I love the presentation of having all the webcams on the poster board!
Edit: I just noticed the classic eye doctor test in the back lol, nice touch.
I never like nor sub to people, ive had this account since 2011. The fact you went above and beyond and did not shortcut anywhere, VERY nice job. Got my like and sub!!!👌
Such an incredible review! Amazing work! Thank you so much!!
Dont be stupid, just use your phone, you’re wasting money.
👍👍👍
I appreciate people like you for going out your way to make this to teach people like me wanting to learn and know what’s the best purchase for myself
First time on the channel here
amazing review, subscribed and belled
17:35 That barrel distortion though.
I watched a video of yours a month or two ago and thought it was great. Today I search for best webcam for lowlight 4k, and this video came up with tons of webcams —> this is insane!!! Instant follow. 👏🏻
Your size is way too big in the Brio 101. I have it and it’s awful.
Thanks for all this. A bunch of work for sure but super valuable for the end user.
Crazy review man, thank you!
Wow, the amount of effort you went through to make this video! Thank you 🙂
love this vid was wondering if u can make a similar video about pc monitors pls and thankyou
how would you rate the
Anker Work C310 ?
I have the Meet 2 and have been using this for some time. It works perfectly with one sort of annoying flaw – it doesn’t know how to deal with lights that use lower refresh rates. I have a neon LED sign in my background and it very obviously refreshes at 30Hz. Unfortunately, the Meet 2 does not have any built in hardware for anti-flickering (same I’ve found to be the case with the Logitech Streamcam series). I’m forced to use the Meet 2 at 30Hz to match the sign or the entire scene flickers like crazy.
Thanks for making this ❤
Thank you sir! 👍

Thanks for the review, I settled with OBSBOT Meet 2.
Hey Jasper could you share your opinions on why the HyperX Vision didn’t make the cut? Just curious! Thanks and great review!
I will go for EMEET NOVA 4K or S600
What clip-on mic are you using? It sounds really good and I’d like to use one for my videos.
4k camera will be a lot more crispy than 1080p even if zoom only supports 720p image.
i just use my iphone rear cameras, much better
As a Gen Xer and a community college professor, I need understandable help with the best webcam bang for my buck! I provide my students and the public with Accounting and Finance videos on YouTube. Thank you for the simplicity and thoroughness of your presentation!
What’s the cam he’s using
Fantastic video man! thank you for all these tests! you really do get what u pay for
Bro, you’re such a pro at tweaking the settinge of each camera!
Could you please help me with mine? I have a UGreen webcam and don’t look really good during video calls. 😢
I’m planning to get the Logi Brio 100 but I don’t have any extra money for it. I hope you could help me. 🙏🏼
Thank you veru much for this video. It’s really a lot of help.
This is sick! Imagine dropping that board though LOL
Tiny 2 lite has a green yellow tint and that destroys everything….
a lot of the times when you did "tuning them up a bit to look a bit better", to me personally they all looked oversatured and worse then before.. I’ve rewatched this clip 2 times actually since I’m on the lookout for a new camera, and either you prefer a bit oversaturated look, or you have a bad monitor not displaying the full color range..
Edit: I want to appreciate the effort tho!
THIS is the video I’ve been looking for! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
Your eyes are so beautiful that they’re literally causing a distraction. 😂❤
Facecam, at all cost dont use Dynamic Range: High, leave it at Standard, I like to use shutter speed 1/50 and add iso: 450-500, contrast for me 80%, sat 50, sharp 50, white bal: 3300-3600 depending on lightning in room and how much sunlight i have behind me, noise reduction: medium
The point of getting the highest resolution you can work with and budget for can be to crop, pan and zoom with much less camera movement. Professionals started doing this for sports at least a few years ago. Super high res cams are often preferred so the details are still there on common displays when cropping and zooming from a much higher resolution much faster than you can afford to do with mechanical movement.

Can’t really believe what you did there 🙂
I own 3 of the cameras tested (two Logitechs and a Razor), and I can say you nailed every detail.
A very interesting model I just began to test: NearStream 4K.
Maybe a couple of ideas for future videos:
1. Web cameras with optical zoom
2. Industrial cameras that look like Web cameras but they have interchangeable lenses (like Mokose or ELP).
I’m here because I am looking for a replacement for my OBSbot Tiny 2 😅 The software is awful, it takes up so much resources even when nothing is toggled in the settings, it also stutters/lags a lot for me and it shouldn’t, I have 4080S and 7800x3d with 32gigs of CL30 6000MT/s RAM. The camera always runs super hot so I am left to wonder if the laggines is caused by overheating. The issue of stutter has been brought by a bunch of people all over OBSbot reddit, but I have not found any good solution for it in replies. I dont know whats wrong, but genuinely I’m just sick of it at this point.
A very impressive and comprehensive review, it is well organized and professionally done and presented.
Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
